Francine Pascal is an American writer who is best known for her novel series Sweet Valley. The most successful work in the series is “Sweet Valley High” which was turned into a successful television series. She was born in May 1938 in Manhattan New York, and grew up in New York her entire life. Francine is one of the most prolific writers, having churned out hundreds of books for her various book series. Her first book was released in 1982 and from then, the New York University alumnus went on to enjoy a highly successful writing career.
Double Love
“Double Love,” released in 1983 was the first book in the Sweet Valley High series. The book chronicles the love struggles and sibling rivalry between two identical twins Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield who ironically have starkly contrasting personalities. Elizabeth is a gentle, kind and outgoing girl while her sister Jessica is snobbish, cunning and exceedingly competitive. Nothing gives Jessica more joy than getting or taking away everything that Elizabeth aspires to have. Eventually, the conflict spreads to their love lives as Elizabeth sets her sights on SVH’s hottest boy Todd Wilkins. As with everything else, Jessica is there to spoil for her sister. While Elizabeth throws passive blushing glances at Todd, Jessica mounts an aggressive pursuit for the dashing young man, more in order to spite her sister than to actually get into a relationship with him.
While at it, Jessica is also starting down a dangerous path as she begins drinking, and is seeing a sleazy dropout from SVH, Rick Andover. All this time the uncanny resemblance between the two sisters means that the charmingly innocent Liz’s reputation takes a hit with each of Jessica’s indiscretion. Jessica and Todd become entangled in another conniving plot by the evil twin, although the he senses something different about the girl who he thinks is Liz. The story then plunges into a rush of action as a plan by Rick to kidnap the twins is thwarted by Todd’s heroic and action packed intervention. Everything about Francine’s representation of events, characters, and the high school setting is done with exceptional authenticity. The moodiness, brutal honesty and blood rush of teenage years are emotions that every person who has gone to high school has experienced or seen. The pattern remains similar throughout the novel, Jessica plots an evil plan, and Elizabeth realizes too late but is able to counter with her brilliance and pure strokes of luck. The reader can be left yearning for a proper retribution for Jessica, who clearly gets much less than she deserved for her mean tricks on her sister and other likeable characters.
Secrets
Francine delivered the second book of the series, “Secrets” that same year. “Secrets” continues the intriguing sibling rivalry between Jessica and Elizabeth. This time Jessica has her eyes on being crowned fall queen, with her main rival being Elizabeth’s best friend Enid. The ever conniving Jesicca believes the best chance at laying her hands on the prize is to sabotage her sister’s friendship with Enid. She sets in motion a series of sinister plans that show just how unhinged she is. Convinced that the only reason Enid and Elizabeth made the list was because they were dating hot boyfriends, Jessica sets out to lure Bruce Patman, the coolest kid in SVH. Meanwhile, Enid harbors an uncomfortable secret about her past which would be calamitous if it came out especially with her boyfriend being extremely jealous. Such a secret would be very dangerous if it landed at Jessica’s feet, and the only person she shares with is Elizabeth.
But secrets, just like parasites have a way of wiggling out of hiding out into the light. SVH comes alight as sparks fly, with every relationship threatening to unravel. Just like its predecessor, Secrets is a light and entertaining read which packs a potent mix of humor and upbeat storytelling. Whether it is anger at Jessica’s evil antiques or a warm admiration for Elizabeth’s sweet manners and even frustration at Elizabeth’s passivity towards Jessica’s indignation, Francine manages to generate a flurry of emotions in the reader throughout the novel. It is a rollercoaster ride which will keep all types of readers flipping through the pages. But secrets, just like parasites have a way of wiggling out of hiding out into the light.

A staple for female readership
Sweet Valley High was a staple for many teenage girls growing up, but the series did and continues to draw a significant adult and even male readership. For young readers, the books have a lot of teachable moments which make this series more than just a pastime. Elizabeth is portrayed as a model teen while the insufferable Jessica is just the opposite. The series goes on for hundreds of books with Francine somehow managing to maintain a high quality across the voluminous work. Many of the books, having entertained kids of the original generation were remodeled to make them more suited to a modern readership. Throughout the series, Francine maintains an air of romance without going into the intricacies that would make the novel inappropriate for teenagers. Ultimately, the books remain young adult novels rather than romance novels per se.
